The Department of Health (DOH) said it will look into the possibility of shortening the interval between the first and second doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire made the statement amid the United Kingdom’s decision to shorten the gap between the two doses of AstraZeneca vaccine to eight weeks.
